“He didn’t influence me!”

This story will get a lot bigger when it is officially released, but it seems that Jack Abramoff has been talking to Vanity Fair magazine. Apparently, Jack says that he was really close with the Burns staff and that get was able to get everything he wanted from the appropriations committee that Burns chairs. I can’t wait to read the actual article, but two things come to mind:

1.) At what point does the Justice Department do something about this? Wasn’t the deal that Abramoff was supposed to cooperate? I would assume that if it his going blather to a magazine that he would have shared this information with the feds.

2.) How are you going to spin this, Jason Klindt? I look forward to you blaming this on the Hollywood liberals or the “no idea” Democrats.
